Sidney Crosby Lost Several Teeth And Needed Jaw Surgery After Being Hit By A Puck

Sidney Crosby has only played 60 games in a season twice in the last five. While this season was shortened because of the lockout, Crosby is once again out indefinitely after being hit in the face with a puck.

The injury occurred when a slap shot by a teammate was deflected by a defender's stick. Crosby, who leads the NHL in scoring, immediately fell to the ground, leaving a pool of blood on the ice. Crosby suffered a broken jaw and lost several teeth requiring jaw surgery and some extensive dental work.
